Hello,

A number of you attended the first Mahara Hui that we held in Wellington in March. Due to popular demand, we will have a second instalment for the Mahara community in Australasia from 8 to 10 April 2015. The 8th of April is a pre-hui, a.k.a. pre-conference day, that is free to everyone. We are envisioning short workshops, how-to sessions, learning how to contribute to Mahara etc. This event will take place at the Auckland waterfront in the Catalyst IT offices. Presentations will take place at AUT University on 9 and 10 April 2015.

We welcome proposals for presentations and posters as well as sessions on the pre-hui day from school students to university graduates, school teachers, lecturers in tertiary education, learning and technology support staff, developers and others who are interested in Mahara. Please review the information for proposals. You will need to register on the site to submit your proposal.

The call for proposals is open until 6 February 2015. The Mahara Hui team reserves the right to accept proposals before the call for proposals finishes. Thus, we encourage early proposal submissions.

Mahara Hui 2015 is organized by the Centre for Learning and Teaching (CfLAT) at AUT University as well as Catalyst IT, the Mahara project maintainer.

For more information about Mahara Hui, please visit the website, subscribe to updates on Twitter and follow the Twitter hashtag #maharahui15.

Please forward this invitation to the call for proposals to your colleagues, students and friends so they join you and us in Auckland in a few months.

Cheers
Lisa and Shen (AUT University) and Kristina (Catalyst IT)
for the Mahara Hui 2015 Organizing Team
